This year’s event will also feature performances by IVE and JYP Entertainment’s new global girl group VCHA, however, neither of them are headliners. This year’s Lollapalooza Chicago will be Skrillex’s first gig in a decade, while Stray Kids will make their Lollapalooza Chicago debut. 

However, this is not the first Lollapalooza Stray Kids is headlining.

Back in 2023, the group headlined Lollapalooza Paris, where they stunned over 60K attendees. They created a long 77-minute setlist for Lollapalooza Paris that showcased the absolute uniqueness of their discography while also capturing the explosive excitement.

Opening with a ceremonial chant of “Stray Kids everywhere all around the world” — a longtime rallying cry for the band and their supporters — they set the tone for the festival.

Within the next 77 minutes, they sang various hit songs like ‘Venom,’ ‘Gods Menu,’ ‘Thunderous,’ and ‘Maniac.’ At the time, they had just released their album, 5-Star.

So, Lollapalooza Paris became their first show where they sang songs from the album, like ‘S-Class,’ ‘Item,’ and ‘Topline,’ live. Their performance at Lollapalooza Paris was critically acclaimed with many fans and followers all over the world demanding Stray Kids to headline more festivals.

As a result, it is no surprise that the K-pop band is going to headline the 2024 Lollapalooza Chicago — making them the only artists to headline Lollapalooza consecutively.

Stray Kids, often abbreviated as SKZ, is a South Korean boy band created by JYP Entertainment via the 2017 reality program of the same name. The group consists of eight members — Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N

Woojin departed the group, which was once made up of nine members, for unspecified personal reasons in October 2019. Since 2019/2020, Stray Kids have been making strides in the music industry.

Soon, they gained international fame and now, they have millions of fans and followers all over the world. Like fellow K-pop groups, BTS and Blackpink, Stray Kids have now become a household name.

Since gaining international fame, Stray Kids has broken various records worldwide. Alongside Lollapalooza Chicago in August 2024, the group will be headlining two other festivals — BST Hyde Park in London and I-Days in Milan in July 2024.

In 2024, the group is also preparing an album and a special album, along with a third-world tour. All in all, Stray Kids are making their fans and followers very happy with the activities and concerts they are holding, alongside making them expect more.

Lily Allen ‘Happy to be Alive’ After Terrifying Car Accident: Singer’s Porsche Run Off Road by HGV

Lily Allen Car Accident 2026: Porsche Run Off Road by HGV

Pop icon and West End Girl singer Lily Allen has left fans stunned after revealing she was involved in a serious road collision in early January 2026. The singer took to Instagram to share photos of her damaged luxury Porsche, following a frightening encounter with a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV).

While the damage to her vehicle was significant, Allen reassured her followers that she escaped the ordeal physically unharmed—though her signature wit remains as sharp as ever.

“Happy to be Alive”: The Details of the Accident

Sharing the news with her millions of followers on January 19, 2026, Allen posted a series of images showcasing the aftermath of the crash. The photos revealed extensive scraping along the side of her Porsche and damage to the wheel arch, suggesting a side-swipe encounter at high speeds.

In her characteristically blunt style, Allen captioned the update:

“Could have done without an HGV running me off the road but other than that a relatively good start to 2026. Happy to be alive and to not be posting any photos taken in 2016.”

The “four-word update”—happy to be alive—quickly trended across social media, with fans and fellow celebrities flooding her comments section with messages of relief.

Shaking Off 2025: A Fresh Start for Lily

The accident comes at a pivotal moment for the 40-year-old artist. Following her high-profile separation from Stranger Things star David Harbour in early 2025 and her subsequent return to the music scene with the critically acclaimed album West End Girl in October, Allen has been vocal about her journey toward healing and sobriety.

Her mention of “not posting any photos taken in 2016” is a direct jab at the “10-Year Challenge” currently sweeping Instagram, where users compare their current selves to photos from a decade ago. For Lily, 2016 was a notoriously difficult year marked by personal struggles—and she clearly has no interest in looking back.

What’s Next for Lily Allen?

Despite the automotive setback, 2026 is shaping up to be a massive year for the star:

  • UK Tour: Her “Lily Allen Performs West End Girl” tour is set to kick off in March 2026, with dates already sold out at the London Palladium.
  • Festival Season: She is confirmed to headline several major European festivals, including Lollapalooza Berlin in July.
  • Podcast Success: Her hit BBC podcast Miss Me? continues to dominate the charts as she remains one of the most unfiltered voices in British media.
